    A while back, Michael Moore got a bunch of MAGAs of all ages together and asked one question. “When did America stop being great?”

    The ones who were born in the 1930s thought that things started going wrong in the 1950s. the ones born in the 1940s thought it was the 1960s. The ones born in the 1960s thought it was in the 1980s…

      I was born in 1982. I think I have a good excuse for thinking America went to shit, oh say, around the end of 2001.

      Personally, my 20s sucked. My 30s were much better.

        Early 90’s here and I think the passage of the Patriot Act was a pretty important demarcation line, not just for abandonment of due process, but also when all the major networks embraced telling their audience who to hate.
